The police in Milan arrested a 54-year-old Italian who is said to have committed armed robbery in Innsbruck and Salzburg 23 years ago. He is accused of robbing a bank in Innsbruck and a jewelry store in Salzburg, Innsbruck’s spokesman for the public prosecutor, Hansjörg Mayr, confirmed to the APA. The man, who was wanted on a European arrest warrant, was also wanted in Italy for robbery and attempted murder. European arrest warrant sought was also sought in Italy for robbery and attempted murder.
The 54-year-old was arrested by police officers at his workplace in a garage, according to Italian media reports. He was taken to a Milan prison. An appeals court is now to decide on extradition to Austria.
In May 2000, a branch of the Bank für Tirol und Vorarlberg (BTV) in Innsbruck was attacked by three “southern type” men. They threatened bank employees with pistols and tied up employees and customers. Nobody was hurt. The perpetrators were able to flee and, according to information at the time, stole more than one million schillings (72,672.83 euros). The other two perpetrators are still on the run, Mayr said. The 54-year-old could now be found out by means of a DNA comparison.
The attack on a jeweler in Salzburg took place in December 2000. Another perpetrator is also still on the run, according to Mayr.
